Calu-3 is a human lung cancer cell line commonly used in cancer research and drug development. Calu-3 cells are epithelial and can act as respiratory models in preclinical applications. Calu-3 cells were first derived in 1975 by Germain Trempe and Jorgen Fogh of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The cells were isolated from the pleural effusion of a 25-year-old Caucasian male with lung…
Cancer research is an area of scientific research that seeks to identify the causes of cancer, find new treatments and develop strategies to prevent the disease. One type of cancer that is particularly difficult to treat is lung cancer. Lung oncology is one of the leading causes of cancer-associated deaths worldwide, and researchers are constantly…
